I have never mastered bush pruning and need advice.
I have a single trunked 7' tall x 6' wide Texas mountain laurel that is leggy due, I think, to getting not quite enough sun and to my too cowardly clipping of 3 years ago. It has several thin branches that extend nearly 3' before they bush out with several leafy sub-branches. You can see three years of growth on these branches. Near the trunk, they are woody for about a foot, then green/brown another foot, then new green in the final section before bushing out. The branches presently droop badly due to weight of new leaves and the few seeds that are forming. It is not very appealing visually, but mostly I am worried that they will break under the weight. It seems that to make the tree bushier closer to the trunk will require some very aggressive trimming tighter than I performed three years ago. This will just about denude the tree in its lower half. I don't mind a year with a naked tree, if that's what will happen, but I don't want to permanently damage it. Maybe someone could give some general small tree pruning advice, and maybe someone can specifically tell me if most of the growth cycle is over for the year for a mountain laurel. I'm not concerned about loosing a blooming cycle next spring. It rarely blooms and never profusely, anyway. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There was a similar question a few weeks ago and it was answered on the link below. I've found that Mountain Laurels will put out new growth whenever it is pruned during the growing season. I've never tried to calculate the right time to prune to keep it from blocking the side walk and the mailbox. I just do it when it needs it. It never seems to resent the pruning and bushes out fairly quickly. |

We trimmed our mountauin laurel after it bloomed. It hasgrown and extra 2 to 3 feet since. The thing that has us baffled is it has put out some type of extra bloom or growth. The new growth looks like the shape of moose antlers or a stag horn fern. They are extensions of the branch alomost the same as new blooms. Could you eexplain what this growth is. Thanks |
The only different kind of growth I have are the buds for next years blooms. They are thin brown scaly looking things that stick out at the end of the branches, but I don't think they look like stag horn fern or moose antlers. I'm mystified. Can you take a picture? |
I too have the "stag horn" looking things on my tree. It's only 4 years old, but I don't remember having these things on it before. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but my tree didn't bloom this year. |
Well, you'll have blooms next year because if the 'stag horn' looking things look like this they are the buds :-) |
What we're talking about (staghorn like feature) is different than your photo. I had a lot of the new growth (like your picture) on my tree this year. I took a photo of the odd growth and was going to upload it here, but after reading instructions, I just gave up, overwhelmed by the process. I guess I'm getting as old as my kids say I am! If you can give me specific instructions on how to upload it I will. I'm still curious... |
I never could figure out how to post pictures with the instructions GW gives. Plus the pictures are really small when you post them that way. Most of us use an online photo storage site like Photobucket.com. Just open an account; it's free. Upload your picture, save it, and then click the HTML code (third one down) under the photo; this automatically copies it. Paste the code into the Garden Web message box and when you preview the message the photo has 'magically' appeared. Click submit and we can all see it. I'm very curious to see to growth you and the other poster mentioned. If you need further clarification about Photobucket let us know. |
Wow - interesting! I think that's a Siamese-septuplet, very misshapen, flower bud which is going to make one terrific bunch of flowers. I don't know what would cause that, but watch it and let us know next spring. Anyone else seen this? |
Mine are doing the same thing. I have little experience with Mountain Laurel, last year I pruned off these parts that flower the following year. As for the antler shapes, I was also looking for an answer and ended up here. I wonder if the extreme heat or drought might have something to do with it? |
I hope those with the wide misshapen Texas mountain laurel flower buds will see this and let us know what the blooms turned out to look like. Pictures would be especially nice. |

I have a night blooming jasmine that puts out a branch or two every year that has that interesting very flat shape. It blooms as well as the other limbs. Back to Texas Mountain Laurels: I did prune mine in summer 2010 to remove the leggy falling over limbs. It has a much better shape, now, and is blooming profusely for the first time is years. Mine does not get much sun and usually has only a couple of small blooms. I wonder if the drought helped it. But I know much of its root zone was watered by my neighbor's sprinkler system (it's almost on the property line), and they didn't change their watering habits. |

The staghorn growth is called fasciation, an anomaly that Mountain Laurels seem especially susceptible to. Here's en explanation: http://www.wildflower.org/mobile/expert/show.php?id=8841 |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fasciation of Mountain Laurel
NolaCherie, thanks for the fascinating information! ;-) Fascination it is, Has anyone observed whether blooms occur on the 'fascinated' buds and what they look like? |
I'm coming out of the dark for this. Gardening is truly amazing, lol |

Wow Jolana! Welcome back! You are the world's best finder of fascinating facts! This time it's literal ... LOL Fond thanks for finding the foto! |
Hi Roselee, thanks. Literally! LOL The nice link NolaCherie supplied has the fascinated bluebonnet that I would love to see |
There she is....................now that Jolana is back, we can have ALL our questions answered..........boy, have we missed you. |
You silly girls, I wish I knew just a pinch of what you two know. The first time I saw this, no one could tell me about it and it was long before digital cameras and internet for all, lol |

With unemployment so high, trying to get ahead may seem like pushing your luck. But it's not -- people are always climbing the corporate ladder. If you're ready to move on to the next stage of your career, it's time to bring the A-game to the workplace and stop flying under the radar.
When it comes to moving up, the absolute worst thing workers can do is hunker down, says Emily Bennington, author of "Effective Immediately: How to Fit In, Stand Out, and Move Up at Your First Real Job."
"If you want to move up, you need to stand out. Call attention to the great things that you're doing and clearly make an effort to do great things that get you noticed," she says.
If you're ready to bust out of your cube and move up in the world, start planning well before you make your big break.
Defining 'up'
So you want to move up. But, what is up, exactly, besides the direction in which balloons, birds and restless workers all aspire to rise?
It may be the next title, or it can mean exploring the various ways to grow your career and manage it in the best way possible for you.
"Does it mean skill enrichment or reputation growth or positioning yourself so you are qualified to move in a direction you choose when you're ready?" says Pam Lassiter, principal of Lassiter Consulting and author of "The New Job Security."
It's really a two-part question: What is up, and where do you want to grow? Moving to the next title may not be the best choice. Similarly, according to Lassiter, a common career misstep is taking an open position simply because it just happens to be open and pays more.
Unless you're certain of your career trajectory, there may be other related areas you'd like to explore. For instance, "Is this the time that I'd like to test out this other division or this other department? Or maybe I'm having fun working on the budget of this project, so maybe I can think of building this into my work," says Lassiter.
Before you commit to the next level of your career, make sure it's where you want to be and you're happy with where that job might lead.
"This is your chance. If you're going to do a breakout, it might as well be one that you want to live with for a while," Lassiter says.
Look at the big picture
Once you know where you're headed, consider how to get there. Think about the job after your next one and the skills required for that position.
That should tell you "what competencies you should be building for the next job," Lassiter says.
Use job boards, employment ads and company websites to get an idea of what the position broadly requires and work to fit within those requirements.
Keeping an eye on the industry as a whole will serve you well in other ways. Zoom out to get a bird's-eye view of the company and where it fits in the industry.
"Many employees see their workplace through the filter of how it affects them directly," says Bennington. "If you want to move up, you have to see how things are impacting the company as a whole," she says.
No matter how likable you are, companies need problem solvers, not seat fillers. That's why Lassiter recommends marketing for mutual benefit when it comes time to make your move.
"Look at problems to be solved rather than looking at job openings. Most of my clients create their own jobs, whether they're going into new companies or they're already inside and moving up," she says.
Look for pressure points or problems and present solutions. It's easier said than done, but take cues from your company's competition -- what problems do businesses like yours have?
Observing the competition and noting their successes and weaknesses will give you a new way to talk to the senior people in the company.
And knowing the vernacular will help your cause. Rather than appearing as a supplicant, the higher-ups will see you as wise and knowledgeable about your industry. Showing that you are an "ask not what your company can do for you" kind of worker is the quickest way to get positive attention.
"That helps reposition your reputation. Talk in other people's language and position it as what is best for the company instead of making it all about me. People will hear it differently," Lassiter says.
Toot, toot
While you're scouring the company for problems to solve and growing your skills, don't be afraid to toot your own horn a little. Ensure that your boss knows you do great work. If the only time the boss knows you exist is when something goes wrong, you may have a problem.
Bennington recommends sending a short note to your boss every Friday, outlining accomplishments and areas where you could use some input.
"Your boss is very busy, much busier than you would know, and probably not aware of everything that you're doing," she says.
These notes will come in handy when you walk in to the corner office to make your case for a promotion. You'll have months of your accomplishments recorded and ready to reference.
Climbing the corporate ladder isn't easy. Maybe you won't get the promotion you want, but by increasing your skills and finding ways to solve problems, you'll eventually get where you want to go.

I left these bulbs in the ground and it snowed and now they won't bloom. My question is if I leave them in the ground is there a chance they will form baby bulbs? |

I'm guessing you mean Acidanthera aka "Peacock Orchids" and not something in the genus Oncidium - showy epiphytic or lithophytic or terrestrial orchids... some of which are known as "Butterfly orchids"? If you're in zone 8, any snow and cold probably doesn't last for any length of time. Acidanthera doesn't tolerate long periods of cold, but if the snow, etc. was sometime last winter, dig one or two up and see what's down there. They are late bloomers in any climate - here, well into late September before they start. |
Peacock Orchids, yes. My mistake. Normally we don't get much snow but last winter it was storm after storm for weeks on end. I had cabin fever something awful. So what am I looking for when I pull them up? |
- Posted by duluthinbloomz4 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 11, 10 at 9:46
I guess just to see if the corms looks "normal" - no rot from bad drainage or cold damage. Google the images for corms or gladiolus corms to see what a normal, healthy corm should look like. The look would be the same for regular glads or the acidanthera. |
Thank you for the information. The leaves on mine are still green so I'll wait until they turn brown and then check them out when I lift them. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they are producing a new crom and babies. I've hear they are prolific. |

The Realist Prism: U.S.-Russia Ties at the Breaking Point
U.S.-Russia relations can't catch a break. No sooner is one set of difficulties navigated than another wave of troubles appears on the horizon. Earlier this year, differences over Syria appeared to be the rock upon which the bilateral relationship would founder, as America's insistence on supporting the opposition seeking the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad—and Moscow's absolute refusal to abandon the regime in Damascus—seemed to put both countries on a collision course. Then the flight of NSA contractor Edward Snowden from the long hand of U.S. justice to a limbo in the transit area of Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport threatened relations, as the Russian government steadfastly refused repeated U.S. requests to detain the renegade and return him to the United States. Both disputes ginned up the respective anti-Russian/anti-American apparatuses in both countries into their familiar roles: strident denunciations in the U.S. of Russian perfidy and hostility, and resolute calls from the Russian side for President Vladimir Putin to stand firm against American bullying and arrogance.
The first of these irritants appears to have peaked. Changes on the battlefield in Syria, and the fracturing of the opposition, have made Washington less willing to push for regime change. As for Snowden, the damage he would cause appeared to have waned, until Moscow granted him temporary asylum yesterday. It seemed that the latest spats between Moscow and Washington had exhausted themselves. Like clockwork, however, the next set of troubles have come rolling in. ...

Arthur Murray Dance Studio has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with other classmates as the instructors assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.
Revival Home helps customers invigorate rooms with vintage furniture items and gently used designer pieces by Baker, Ralph Lauren, and Kate Spade. Owner Arlene opened Revival Home in the summer of 2009 during an economic recession in hopes of equipping shoppers with high-quality homewares for reasonable prices. Using her background in art direction, she hand selects each item from estate sales in the Hamptons to populate her recently renovated 10,000-square-foot show room with antique flatware, china sets, and ottomans. Because Revival Home relies on consignment goods, its stock rotates daily, providing shoppers with new antique lamps to check for genies on each visit.
The courteous staff shares a wealth of fashion knowledge to help clients find vintage and contemporary apparel to complement their personal style or create completely original looks. Like a mother's stern warning, items from the shop's stock are rarely repeated to make room for a constant flow of new jewelry and clothing discoveries. Busy fashionistas may schedule private shopping appointments outside of regular business hours to receive one-on-one service. Closet-cleaning house calls summon Vice Versa Boutique's organizers to tidy up disheveled wardrobes and provide suggestions on future purchases before floating out the window with a vintage umbrella.
The experts at Yarnover help knitters of all skill levels learn basic and advanced techniques in knitting classes, as well as help those comfortable enough to knit by themselves navigate the shop and secure buttons, needle cases, and colorful royal alpaca, mulberry silk, or baby llama yarn. During the hands-on classes, students progress at their own pace as they take in wisdom and pointers from experienced teachers and broaden the knowledge of their hands and muscle memory. Guests can also stop by to sharpen their skills and talk trash about crocheters at a free knitting circle held every Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m.
The Claypen is a place where memories are made. Making gifts for a loved one, capturing a newborn's footprints, birthday parties, scout troops, good times are a regular occurrence here. Where else can grandparents, teenagers, and young children sit together and share the enjoyment of creating.
Voted Best Florist/Flower Shop in 2010 and 2011, Lane and Lenge Florists commemorates special occasions with artfully arranged floral masterpieces. Nestled in a terra-cotta-style clay dish, the Serene Retreat arrangement embeds white hypoestes in a field of green dieffenbachia, spathiphyllum, ficus, and boston fern ($47.95). Romantics will enjoy the Rose Medley, a perennial cluster of roses, spray roses, and other fresh buds named after gardening enthusiast Pete Rose ($47.95+). The Citrus Kissed arrangement, a vibrant display of orange and coral roses in a slender gathering vase, celebrates sun-splashed summer months and can be used to ward off apparitions of February ($52.95+).

Our lab is interested in understanding how human cells respond to extracellular cues to maintain and ensure their function and survival. One central focus is to study how the pancreatic beta cell converts feeding cues into signals leading to insulin production and secretion. We use high-throughput functional screens to identify novel players involved in different cell-signaling pathways, including human pancreatic beta cell proliferation and those involved in the maintenance of mitochondria, critical subcellular organelles essential for cell function and survival. In addition to Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, our work impacts upon cancer and neurodegeneration.

As part of Eastern Partnership Youth Window of the Youth in Action programme, funding will be provided to projects implemented under Action 2. European Voluntary Service and Action 3.1 – Cooperation with the Neighbouring Partner Countries of the EU. The overall budget for this window is expected to reach EUR 31.5 million for the period 2012-2013, which would be split as follows: EUR 12.5 million for the Executive Agency (EACEA) of the European Commission to provide co-financing for projects to be implemented by beneficiaries coming from EaP countries. The remaining EUR 19 million will be divided between National Agencies of the Youth in Action programme to provide co-financing for proposals submitted by beneficiaries coming from the YiA programme countries. Poland will be awarded EUR 600,000 (more than 330,000 for Action 1 and nearly 280,000 for Action 3.1)
For the first time in the history of Eastern Europe and Caucasus region, such large funds are awarded for the development of international youth cooperation. Also for the first time, there is an opportunity to provide co-financing for proposals submitted directly by organisations from EaP countries, which is a historic prospect for the development of the potential of youth and youth organisations from Eastern Europe and Caucasus
Based on the investigation of needs concerning Eastern Partnership countries conducted by the European Commission, additional priorities for the window have been defined, and will be taken into consideration, along with other priorities of the YiA programme, when assessing the proposals.
Priorities of Eastern Partnership Youth Window of the YiA programme are as follow:
Proposals for projects implemented as part of the Window can be submitted within the following deadlines:
The new initiative does not cover Russia, however organisations intending to cooperate with organisations in Russia can implement projects with the use of funds under Action 3.1. The application procedure is the same for filing applications for Action 2 and 3.1, both for general initiatives and these implemented under the Window.
We hope that new opportunities for cooperation will strengthen the relationship between youth coming from YiA programme and EaP countries. It is a driving force for building a strong partnership with taking into consideration the responsibility for the implementation and progress of projects. So far, only organisations from YiA programme countries could be responsible for administration and financial aspects (filing an application, signing an agreement, making financial settlements). Now, this role can be played by partners coming from Eastern Partnership countries. A large number of organisations from EaP countries, which so far participated in projects under Action 2 and Action 3.1, and had considerable experience, could not coordinate projects in terms of quality aspects or administration. The window provides this opportunity and we hope that in the long run it will contribute not only to better youth cooperation, but also to working together in international labour market, both for participants coming from YiA programme countries and those from Eastern Partnership countries.
The fact that Eastern Partnership Youth Window of the Youth in Action programme has been opened during Polish presidency in the Council of the European Union is a symbolic fact, as it was Poland and Sweden who in May 2008 proposed strengthening the relations with neighbours in the east covered by European Neighbourhood Policy as part of a new initiative EU Eastern Partnership. A year later, during Czech presidency, a new initiative of the European Union called Eastern Partnership was officially announced. The partnership is based on four cooperation platforms, the last of which is people to people contacts, and applies also to youth. Eastern partnership and youth mobility were among the priorities of Polish EU presidency, and you cannot imagine a better crowning achievement of the presidency then the establishment of the Eastern Partnership Youth Window of the Youth in Action programme. We can congratulate the Polish government, the European Commission and ourselves for successful preparations for and implementation of this important initiative. We hope it is only a good start!

Weight Loss Support - Christian EncouragersView Full Version : Christian Encouragers sami 03-20-2002, 08:38 AM Welcome to Christian Encouragers! We are a group who will be there for you in encouragement and prayer. Everyone is welcome! sami 03-20-2002, 08:56 AM Blessing to all, It is cold and keeps raining on and off here. They keep saying that it is going to cold here by thur. Where is my spring weather we have had all WINTER! My MIL got to go home but will have surgery in 3 weeks. My FIL is still doing the same. I have caught myself snacking when I shouldn't. I need to get out of this slump I am in. Thur my DD is going to a friends so maybe I will just relax and scrapbook! Zoe-I am so happy you found a dress so soon! Enjoy the event! De-I am praying that your family and you are feeling better. Patricia-Way to go on 1 lb gone for good! Bethanne-Way to go on your loose pants. Little things like that keep me going. Just think about the next size down! Wilma-I hope you get your walking in! I just can't walk when it is bitter cold out. Ginny-We have been hit with the same bug here in Indy. My DD was sick sat night. Praying you and your family are feeling better. Chicks for christ-This bug thing is spreading like wild fire!! Praying you are feeling better. Angel Cat-Thank you for your prayer. I would not get caught up in what the charts say. Go by what looks good on you! If at 150 you feel good and look good then that is where you should be. Pravda-How is being 30 feel now? Your only as old as you feel (boy do I feel old these days! LOL) Sherry-Way to go on .5 lbs. I do that where I barly loose then I get on and I have lost 5. Thank you for all your Prayers! May the Lord Bless and keep you! Sami ECmom 03-20-2002, 11:09 AM Good Morning! Sami- as busy as you are, thanks for starting the new thread. Sounds as though your inlaws are stable, for now- an answer to prayer. Keep praying, about yourself too. You are under so much stress. Leave your worries at Jesus feet. And I will continue to pray for you. I would like to ask for some prayer coverage for Dd (15). She is under so much stress- her softball coach really has put pressure on her. Thanks. Gotta go for my walk. have a great day. Ginny wilma12 03-20-2002, 11:11 AM Good Morning! It must be cold everywhere, Sami. It's -26C here this am. It's been like this for a week now and is supposed to stay until the weekend. Today is supposed to be the first day of spring!!! Needless to say I have wimped out again and haven't walked. I can feel it in my waistline that I haven't been exercising. It's spring break for me next week and Ds is going to BC with a friend. DH and I will go away for a couple of days and then spend the rest of the time at home. I hope to get some quality exercise time in then. I would like to establish a routine that is easy to do. All of you who are doing so well: Keep it up! I need you for inspriation!! I better get to work now. I'll talk more later! chick4christ 03-20-2002, 01:01 PM Didnt see the new thread!I hope the weather is better for your DS when she comes to B.C. Wilma. We just got dumped with a lot of snow here the past couple of days. It looks like winter not spring.If its not snowing its raining.I love the snow though,even though you dont have to shovel the rain.They say in Vancouver you dont tan you rust.Its one of the places where you can have pouring rain,ugly weather, but still go skiing.Way to go on everybodys weight loss. I hope to be able to post some loss soon. :cry: I havent been able to stick to anything yet. I guess I'm just not ready. pravda 03-20-2002, 02:01 PM I guess I should not complain, we could be having a drought. I enjoy the rain, if I can stay at home and not have to get out in it. But, I love Spring, so I am anxious for that to get here, but on the bad side, summer in Texas is no fun, so I guees I better enjoy the cold while I can. In a few weeks I will be whinning about the heat!!!!!!!!!!!! Wilma- you can keep your -26c! I can not believe that it is that cold in Canada! I talked to one person from there that said it had snowed yesterday! I think they were in the Quebec area. Sami-you sound busy. Glad to hear that your inlaws are doing a little better. I am enjoying 30, so far! I guess it isnt all that bad! Ginny-Will be praying for your Dd. I think that sport coaches can be too hard on these kids sometimes. I hope you had a great walk today! For all those that has lost weight- CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! Well, my brother inlaw had a heart attack on Saturday. He had a Stint put in on Monday and will have to go back for another one in a few weeks. Then yesterday, my sister inlaw had to put her dog, that she had had for 18yrs, to sleep. So this week has been a trying one for our family. It is never too quiet around here anyway. I hate waiting for "the other shoe to drop!" I am praying that this will be all. I have been really falling off the wagon. I try to get back on track and I am so easily derailed by things that I know that are bad for me. I have had a string of bad eating days. I still have not been back to the gym. I guess I have convinced myself that it doesnt matter what I do, this weight aint coming off! I hate myself for being so easly pushed over the edge!!!!!! I really want to be in shape and at a good weight for me, I am tired of being FAT and ugly. I guess satan has convinced me that I am not able to do this. But I do know other wise! I have gone down 10lbs and I am down like 4 sizes! I am just frustrated with the whole thing. Anyway, enough whinning. Pravda chick4christ 03-20-2002, 03:00 PM Hi! Pravda, when I read your last post I started to :cry:It reminded me of me. I know how you feel because I feel that way sometimes too.You are on the right road,at least you are doing something about it. It takes time and we didnt gain this weight overnight.I pray for everyone here before I go to sleep at night and wonder why I cant do it.I need a better incentive, I think. I'll just picture my prince charming waiting for me down the road,lol. God Bless, you can do it. ECmom 03-20-2002, 11:30 PM Good evening!!!! Nice to see all the posts today!! Wilma- I do hope that your spring break is all that you want it to be,including restful and healthy! I might be strange.........but I really like winter weather.......the cold and the snow.......(the rest of my family thinks I am a bit off!) Chick- oh, it is so hard to get inspired, don't we all know! ( I am in a bit of a slump now myself). But, the best reason- other than that overeating is not in obedience with what the Lord wants for us, is to take good care of ourselves (guess that is still the obedience issue, huh?). You will be able to do this! And how right that you are, that becoming overweight did not happen overnight and losing will also take time. Pray- talk to Him about what is bothering you and ask Him for His help. And we are always here for a big hug, smile:) and word of encouragment. Pravda- maybe try to take this one day at a time. Set one day - just one- to go back to the gym. Maybe that will help you break out of this slump. So much stress in your family too- sounds like you need some time for yourself. It is getting late, dear ladies and I had better get some rest. :yawn: I did get 2 walks in today- for a total of 6 miles. An answer to prayer!!!!!!!!!!!!! (thank you Lord and to those who prayed) Dd's softball practice today was cancelled! So she came home at normal time, 4:30 instead of the normal almost 7 pm. (practice was cancelled because it snowed all day at school, which is 20 miies NW of home). I had better get to bed. Sleep in peace! Ginny sami 03-21-2002, 08:38 AM Blessing this morning, I am looking forward to today because today is my day off and my DD is going to a friends for a play day so I have the day to myself! I am hoping to relax and scrapbook. Thank all of you for your prayers. chick for christ and Pravda- I feel your pain when I blow it I also say to myself Why do I keep doing the things I don't want to do? I am going to pick one thing to change and do it all week like no fast food then the next week I will add drinking a glass of water before each meal the ect..... I can't jump in and make big changes at once or I can't stick to it. So I am making small changes one week at a time. Pravda-I am praying for your brother in law and for your family. Keep us posted how he is doing. Ginny-The Lord hear our Prayer! My kids play sports and we have had some real Loser coaches! My ds had one for football that treated him really mean had the other kids pick on him. And my son didn't tell until a year later. Said if we would of said anything to the coach it would have made it worse for him. He was in 6th grade. I will keep your dd in prayer. Wilma-It is turning cold here. I had spring flowers comming up and now the temp has dropped again. Enjoy your time off. Have a OP day and we are missing a lot of MIA come back! Sami PeachyMom 03-22-2002, 07:34 AM Good Happy Friday.... Ok everybody up and do "The Happy Friday Dance.":dizzy: I start each Friday out this way with me kids....My daughter thinks I'm crazy...What's up with that?:lol: Sami...I'm coming to your house. I am sooo behind on my scrapbooking. And I have to do the one for my son's school. This has been a pretty good week for me. I lost 3 lbs. Now the total lost since Oct. is 48 lbs. woo hooo...One of my best friends sent me a beautiful basket of flowers yesterday at work. The card said "I'm proud of you." I'm so very thankful for the friends that God has blessed me with. Still trying to walk every day. Son has started baseball and we have a game tonight....and brrrr it is cold here in Georgia again. Come on SPRING!:D Have a Super Friday everyone. Monica:angel: start 258: now 210.....mini goal 200 BA99TJ 03-22-2002, 10:44 AM Yay! I lost 5 lbs this week. I'm shocked, but really happy. :) Had a good week, just really busy at work, so I need to keep this short. I'm praying for all of you!!! Gutchie 03-22-2002, 10:52 AM Motivation! Self Control! Determination! Where the heck are these in my life right now? I too am doing "terrible". The wedding is June 1st. and I'm depressed and disgusted with myself. I will be the largest sister @ nephew's wedding and I swore I wouldn't be. PRAY for me girls & Gary. ( any other men sitting on the side). Winter has returned to Southern Ontario. High winds, snow flurries and temperatures in the teens. The poor robins be hiding wishing they'd have stayed south a few more weeks. As for the budding flowers, who knows if they can withstand this change. Silly weather we be having. Spring is here right? I wish to go directly to summer now! I wish all of you a super Weekend. I do the Friday yippppeeeee dance also. Hugs to all of you from the farm. In Christ Always, Sister Joanne wilma12 03-22-2002, 11:18 AM I bought a new scale yesterday. I know you're not supposed to rely on the scale too much but I still seem to need to weigh myself. It was a bit of a shock when I got on it. Now I know that I need to do something about it. I actually stayed away from sugar yesterday. Now I need to lower my carbs and increase my veggies. With spring break next week I hope to get into a routine with exercising. I've been doing a lot of reading on fitness and the underlying message is to work at getting fit and the eating will follow. So, that's what I'm going to do. I find that going on "diets" don't work for me because it's easy to go off them. If I exercise I try to eat properly so as not to sabatoge the work I've done. Gutchie: It seems like winter is hanging on everywhere. We haven't seen bare ground yet let alone flowers! I hope you can get back on track. I know exactly how you're feeling. Let's do it! Beth Anne: WTG on the 5 lbs.!! You're doing awesome!! Monica: You're also doing awesome. 48 lbs is a lot of weight!! Sami: I hope you enjoyed your day alone. I love it when that happens. Next year with DS going off to college I'll probably have more than I need. DS is off with friends to BC today and DH is home for spring break so time all to myself will be rare. That's okay though. Busy season will be here soon for DH and I won't see much of him then. Ginny: YOu're doing great with your walking. Come and get me and we'll go together. Pravda: Please don't be so down on yourself. You're a beautiful person and the more you call yourself down the worse you'll feel. Concentrate on the good things about you and you'll feel better and then be able to deal with the hard things in your life. It sounds like we all need a little lift! Let's lift each other up in prayer. God cares so much about us and He want us to communicate our feelings to Him. He made us and He knows what we need. Have a great day! EZMONEY 03-22-2002, 07:58 PM Hi Ladies-- I have been away from the thread for awhile as far as posting however, I have been reading the posts. I have been so busy with church, son and step-daughter softball games, daughter tennis matches and son, again, track meets--oh yea--I have also been on my new elliptical trainer [if I am not watching MARCH MADNESS BASKETBALL--my wife just loves that !!!HA-HA!! Quickly-Ginny, I can relate to your daughters' coach problems! My daughters' tennis coach is NOT a very nice man-- but it is hard to do anything when they are college coaches--we pray ALOT!! Maybe you can talk Monica into doing the Happy Friday dance next week with a curse on him--if it works I will get her to do one for my daughters' coach!!! What do ya say Monica? Joanne, you are breaking my heart-- life is too good and too short to feel that way--If diets are not working [ I don't want to upset anybody 'cause I love you all, but I am not a big fan of diets because I think MOST PEOPLE have a hard time following them and when they fail they go right back to the problem that got them there in the first place--- OLD HABITS stay with us] I think the best way is to just change the way you eat so it becomes NATURAL!! Be right back EZMONEY 03-22-2002, 08:14 PM Prevention had a good article this month-- it said to cut your plate in half--that half fill up with ALL the fruit and veggies you want-- cut the other half into quarters, one quarter for bread, rice, potato, etc.-the next quarter for your meat-- if you are still hungry eat more fruit and veggies. Only put good things into your body and after awhile that is all you want-- I WAS A FAST FOOD JUNKIE after my first wife left--thank the good LORD He brought me a health concious wife. Then get out and exercise at YOUR own pace--it becomes a way of life--not a diet that you have to stick to. Don't worry about the weight--IN TIME-- it will go as you improve your lifestyle--Start today and by next summer you will be the HOTTEST babe on the beach!!! My daughter walks into the house from school--and her dorm at college craving fruit, this is what she eats--my son walks in craving JUNK--cause that is what he puts into his body [although he is getting better] Sorry for going on and on-- I just worry about you guys!!! I know the loss of the pounds are what you strive for but it seems that if there is no weight loss then everything goes back to the way it was--and you have to start over. Don't start over--just start a new lifestyle--- LOVE YOU GUYS--IN HIS LOVE-Gary ECmom 03-23-2002, 08:22 AM Good Morning dear friends, Another tough week has come to an end........and so far the job change has not gone well (still praying that I can find another job before I leave my present one). Thanks to each of you for your encouraging words. I hope to get on here later and be able to leave a more lengthy post with personal responses. For now, gotta go feed the hungry mob. Ginny Zoe 03-23-2002, 09:50 AM Good Morning everyone :wave: Just stopping in for a moment, on my way to the basket of laundry here :( ~ I just wanted to say hello since I've not been here in a few days. I really didn't realize it was that long! :?: I have a black tie affair to attend tomorrow and I've been frantically trying to FIT into something. :lol: It's taking up all my time too but I pray that you all are donig great and staying healthy. I'll post this weekend, I promise. Love in Christ, Zoe <>< wilma12 03-23-2002, 06:48 PM Hi all! I just had to come on here and let you know that I have been out for a walk. Yes, a walk!!!! I did 2 miles and while my legs feel like rubber I know that in time I will get them back into shape again. I have also been sugar free for 3 days now. I hope to make this a habit. DH and I are leaving for a couple of days after church tomorrow so I won't be able to be on here until Wednesday. I'll talk to you again then. Have a great weekend!! PeachyMom 03-24-2002, 09:37 AM :angel: Good Morning Well I spent ALL day at the ball field yesterday. Son had his first game at 8:30 and we finished at 6:30....They won 3 out of 4 and placed 3rd.:D It was a fun day watching the kids....There was several teams of kids that I teach so I had to watch some of their games also. ECMOM...I'm praying for you and your job situation. Wilma...2 miles WTG....Hope that you and your husband have a wonderful trip...be safe. Zoe....How was the black tie affair? Gary...thanks for your encouraging words. Blessing to you all...and anyone else I forgot. I read this in a book this week and it really made an inpact on me: "The one You love is (fill in the blank for your own needs) The words of a the prayer vary, but the response never changes. The Savior hears the prayer. He silences heaven, so He won't miss a word. He hears the prayers." Our love is ever changing...Praise God His stays the same. Have a wonderful Lord's day. Love you in Christ, Monica;) Zoe 03-24-2002, 09:55 AM Good Palm Sunday Morning! Just wanted to say hi. Today is also my son's 22nd birthday. He wants to play golf for his birthday, like that was something new on a saturday and sunday. Ha! Wilma ~ good going on that walk. I have not been on my treadmill in 3 days. :( Today doesn't look good for it either but tomorrow, Monday, I will be back in my routine. Keep up the good work....walking is just a great form of weight loss exercise. Monica ~ I know you had fun on the ball field. When my daughter was young, I was her softball coach and it was so much fun....not just the couching but watching those kids play. I miss those days when she was that innocent. :angel: My black tie affair is tonight....why on a Sunday? :?: Ginny ~ My prayers are with you and your job situation. I am praying that the Lord brings you THE perfect situation for you and your life. Gary ~ I really enjoyed your paragraph on the cutting your plate in half thing. It really IS true although I tend to not do it. I've been better lately though, somewhat better but on my way. One day at a time. Oh, and March Madness is a problem at our house too. :lol: Hello to everyone else. Have a wonderful Lord's Day and I will talk to y'all tomorrow. The black tie thingy is tonight, 6:30-1100 so I will be busy before that and pooped after it. It's a fundraiser for the hospital so it's for a good cause. In Christ, Zoe 03-26-2002, 09:04 PM just bringing this up to the top so everyone can see the old posts in here. I think this thread got lost somewhere.......:?: EZMONEY 03-26-2002, 09:21 PM Hi everyone-- I have been busy, my son just had his 21st birthday yesterday--the wife, ex-wife my daughter and I took him out for dinner and "A" drink [step-daughter off in Ireland with her father this week, actually two] His boy/girl friends then took him out to the pizza/brewery in town, about 16-18 kids all having fun with their Designated Drivers!!!!! I was in bed when he got home but he looked just fine when he got home from mid-terms and track practice this evening. Going my 400 mile round trip to my daughters tennis match tomorrow-- I don't even think she is playing, only top 6 will go and she is #8 at the moment-- they are playing the #6 team in college in the nation. Well gotta get dinner going the wife is pulling in the drive and I am in TROUBLE! Just kidding- she loves me. Later- God Bless you ALL-In Christ, Gary doitforme 03-27-2002, 10:39 AM Hi there! I'm jumping in on your fun ! Actually Zoe invited me, we have a thread on buddy up called Is there any christians. Feel free to jump in on that one too. I'm 39, single, no children. I'm doing a 1400 cal. diet, there's that 4-letter word again:lol: I have lost 43lbs so far, since 1/2/02. I walk my treadmill every morning for 30 mins. and love 3fc web for its motivation, and inspiration. I never thought I would have the good fortune of finding so many brothers/sisters in christ, what a blessing!!! EZMONEY- its great! your such a supportive dad, there are many parents that are too busy to participate in their kid's life's.Kudos to you!!! and I also liked the idea of dividing the plate. It would be great to use at a buffet also, when there are so many options. Hope you all have a great day!! Love in christ <>< Zoe 03-27-2002, 09:48 PM Hi everyone and hi Sue ~ So glad that you popped in here.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "Comfort my people," says our God. "Comfort them! | 1 Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. |
2 Encourage the people of Jerusalem. Tell them they have suffered long enough and their sins are now forgiven. I have punished them in full for all their sins." | 2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins. |
3 A voice cries out, "Prepare in the wilderness a road for the Lord! Clear the way in the desert for our God! | 3 A voice of one calling: "In the desert prepare the way for the LORD ; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. |
4 Fill every valley; level every mountain. The hills will become a plain, and the rough country will be made smooth. | 4 Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. |
5 Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it. The Lord himself has promised this." | 5 And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken." |
6 A voice cries out, "Proclaim a message!" "What message shall I proclaim?" I ask. "Proclaim that all human beings are like grass; they last no longer than wild flowers. | 6 A voice says, "Cry out." And I said, "What shall I cry?" "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. |

Here are headlines from a random pick, Florida's top three entries on March 28: Florida Tea Party welcomes gun manufacturers; Pension reform gets too real for Florida Senate Republicans; Florida teachers unions block efforts to reform failing schools.
Like other outlets, Watchdog mixes substantive accountability stories, which mostly focus on misuse of public monies, with analysis, such as Roger Ailes: More Complex than His Critics Would Like to Believe.
"All publications have a mission and a voice," states the Center's website. "We are unabashed in ours: to spotlight waste, fraud and misuse of taxpayer dollars by state and local governments. We conform to the Society of Professional Journalists standards, follow AP style and are not partisan or political."
The Franklin Center's Vice President of Journalism, Steven Greenhut, told CJR that its donors play no role in shaping its coverage. When we sent Greenhut a list of questions for this piece, Greenhut responded in depth—and promptly published his answers in a strongly worded piece disputing any notion that conservative donors taint Watchdog's coverage. Greenhut urged CJR to examine the Center's reporting rather than its funders. (He and other Watchdog reporters noted that CJR insists it is unbiased while also relying on donor funding. He could have pointed out that CJR's donors include George Soros' Open Society Foundations.)
Just to be clear, it is indeed Watchdog's journalism that we would like to take a glance at in this article. Greenhut's understandable defense of the Franklin Center's independence (which we don't question) does not change the lessons that its approach may offer about the Koch brothers' journalistic priorities. In light of their potential bid to purchase several of the country's flagship newspapers, it's worth taking a look at what the Center tells us about the Koch brothers vision of straight, issues-oriented journalism.
Two aspects of the Franklin Center's approach stand out as particularly relevant.
One is its hardnosed focus on ferreting out government waste. Franklin Center investigations have examined subsidies to sporting goods chains that run into the billions, high salaries for employees of federal renewable energy programs, and phony disability pensions paid out to New Jersey police officers. While mainstream newspapers also dig into misuse of public funds—Tribune Company's biggest paper, the Los Angeles Times, for example, won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for exposing self-dealing public officials in the California city of Bell—the Franklin Center's tough everyday scrutiny of government spending offers a clear vision.
A second tendency of the Franklin Center is to occasionally blur reporting and opinion and to go beyond the facts of its findings.
For example, Watchdog.org's March 12 investigation of the liberal Tides Foundation, headlined Lefty clearinghouse funnels federal cash to militants, alleged in its first sentence that Tides bankrolls "Islamic militant organizations." Despite the severity of its allegation, the article does not name the militant organizations in question nor offer any evidence that federal funds were provided to such an organization. In fact, the story never returns to the charge.
In response to CJR's questions, Greenhut said the article was referring to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil liberties advocacy group. He wrote that CAIR was included as an "unindicted co-conspirator" in a 2007 Justice Department case against Hamas supporters, and that the founder of its Texas chapter is in jail on terror finance charges. He said that "all money is fungible" and therefore federal money was effectively supporting the group.
A Washington Post fact-check of allegations that CAIR was a terrorist group made by Republican members of Congress found that CAIR was one of 250 groups listed as "unindicted co-conspirators" by the Justice Department in an effort to compel them to produce evidence at a trial. The Post called references to the "unindicted co-conspirator" charge "one of those true facts that ultimately gives a false impression" when it is used to suggest that CAIR is a militant or terrorist organization.

After graduating from dental school, Dr. Zack Zaibak didn't open up his own office. Instead, he earned his certification in forensic dentistry from the U.S. Navy and completed a residency in advanced dentistry at Loyola Hospital. These experiences foretold a life of constant professional learning; though he now has an award-winning practice of his own, he completes nearly 100 hours of postgraduate training every year. His extensive knowledge has inspired Fox, ABC, WGN and Univision to feature the dentist on consumer-education segments. Dr. Zaibak is also the author of The Hidden Truth Behind Beautiful Smiles, published in 2011. In Dr. Zaibak's office near the Tinley Park Metra station, patients sip complimentary drinks while watching DVDs, listening to CDs, or reciting the alphabet in massage chairs fitted with neck pillows. While they relax, Dr. Zaibak and his highly trained staff make over their smiles with advanced cosmetic treatments, including Invisalign, whitening, and drill-free veneers.
Helmed by experienced dentist Dr. Robert M. Thies, Amazing Smiles brightens up chompers in a welcoming dental office. Flanked by skilled assistants, Amazing Smiles? dentists treat the entire family, examining the pearly whites of adults, children, and teething venus flytraps. The office offers a range of services, from root canals and cleanings to cosmetic-dentistry procedures such as Invisalign, veneers, crowns, and bridges. Amazing Smiles maintains a commitment to both the health of patients and the environment, boasting an energy-efficient building, a range of recycling practices, and digital x-rays.
Dr. Michael Egan, a dentist with more than 18 years of experience, works to fill the gaps in grins using the cutting-edge Invisalign system within a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Invisalign straightens crooked chompers with a combination of highly advanced, 3-D computer graphics and the spells of old-fashioned orthodontia. The Invisalign process eschews cumbersome braces for clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible to the unclothed eye. An initial 30-minute exam, including x-rays, photos, and impressions of your mouth terrain, paves the way for a flurry of calibrated teeth sheaths that are designed to slowly shift walnut crackers into perfect alignment. View some Invisalign FAQs here.
From a waiting room furnished with a flat-screen TV, a saltwater fish tank, and a kids' play area to a dental staff that's both experienced and comforting, Dr. Thomas J. Dunn and his team have made every effort to make their patients' appointments enjoyable. At his practice, Dr. Dunn ensures that every smile he encounters emerges gleaming and healthy by performing state-of-the-art dental care in addition to specialty services, such as teeth whitening, Invisalign, and implants. He also knows that many of his patients lead busy lives, which is why he offers evening hours twice a week and stays open on Saturday.
All Perfect Smiles' team—three dentists and one periodontist—collaborates to brighten smiles with a suite of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic procedures. Armed with more than 25 years of dental experience, the staff tend to teeth with cleanings, root canals, whitening treatments, and orthodontia such as Invisalign. The team can also resolve niche issues, ranging from sleep apnea to pediatric dental maladies. Regardless of the treatment, the team's focus on patient education ensures that, unlike people who eat Pop Rocks, patients always understand what happens in their mouths.
Dr. Robert Q. Marshall not only specializes in dental implants, but also has achieved the International Dental Implant Association's Diplomate status, which means he has completed at least 350 continuing-education hours of dental-theory training and has successfully placed more than 150 dental implants on patients. In his 25 years, he has become adept at myriad other dental services, too, including straightening teeth with Invisalign aligners and applying custom veneers to cover chipped teeth.
Dr. Marshall keeps his office open up to six days a week to make sure busy patients can still maintain their healthy smiles.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Takes Home Two NAACP Image Awards
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took home two 2013 NAACP Image Awards for "Best Documentary" for his film "On the Shoulders of Giants - The Story of the Greatest Team You've Never Heard Of" and the award for "Best Children's Book" for "What Color is My World? - the lost history of African American inventors" authored by the legendary sports figure and Raymond Obstfeld. The film was nominated in the Best Documentary category and the book was nominated for Best Literary Work - Children's category. Both were awarded last night, February 1, in a pre-show gala awards ceremony held in Los Angeles.
The NAACP Image Award is one of the highest accolades presented by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which honors outstanding people of color in film, television, music and literature. Similar to other awards like the Oscars and the Grammys, the 40 categories of the Image Awards are voted on by the award organization's members. The 2013 NAACP Image Awards aired on NBC Television live from the Shrine Auditorium.
On the Shoulders of Giants is a 75-minute feature-length documentary currently airing on Showtime. The film honors a group of sports pioneers who have been all but forgotten over time. The story finds its footing in the rhythms of jazz, its roots in the Harlem Renaissance and its voice in a group of basketball players much too talented to be ignored. It was produced and directed by Deborah Morales on behalf of Abdul-Jabbar in association with Iconomy Multi-media & Entertainment. Oscar winning actor Jamie Foxx did the honors of voice over throughout the documentary with notable appearances by Dr. Maya Angelou, Spike Lee, Bill Russell, Dr. J., Herbie Hancock, Chuck D, Dr. Cornell West, Charles Barkley, Jerry West as well as many other legendary celebrities and sports figures.
"Who would have thought that an African-American basketball hero from New York and a white Jewish girl from Boston would be working together let alone win an NAACP Image Award," said Deborah Morales, a well-known entertainment business manager. "I am so thrilled to receive this award not only because it justifies the very poignant message both Kareem and I set out to send as we began this journey but because the NAACP's continued pursuit of civil rights is very important to both of us.
Abdul-Jabbar's children's book "What Color Is My World? -the lost history of African American inventors" children's book was penned by the NBA legend and New York times best-selling author Abdul-Jabbar and his co-writer Raymond Obstfeld and offers an upbeat history lesson within a fictional narrative framework. Siblings Ella and Herbie, whose story unfolds within the pages of the book is taught by an eccentric handyman named Mr. Mital who teaches them about the contributions made by African-American inventors through their own adventures and their fixer-upper house. The book was illustrated by A.G. Ford, Ben Boos and published by Candlewick Press.
"It is a distinguished honor to be recognized by the NAACP in such an extraordinary way. To win two NAACP Image Awards is a remarkable moment for me " said Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. " I have spent much of my life working towards the recognition and understanding of African-Americans in all fields and am extremely proud to know that this award stands profoundly for the fight for social justice for all Americans."

We visited Puerto Rico in early July. This fruit pictured was growing on a tree in a cultivated (landscaped) area. I tasted a minuscule amount and it was unbelievably bitter. The taste stayed on my tongue for an hour. Can you tell me what it is? I haven't had any success finding it. Birds seem to eat the inner brown part; the part I tasted was more from the light part nearer the outside, I think. This was the bitterest thing I've ever tasted! Thanks. |

I've seen it before and I've seen it in Puerto Rico also. The fruit is larger than a mangosteen. I have photos of the open pods covering the ground. All I remember is the word "monkey" in the common name... but I could be wrong. |
Definitely looks like an unripe mangosteen to me as well. |
If it is bitter, sour, or tastes bad...Murahilin might be able to identify it!! LOL! |
- Posted by rayandgwenn z11 Puerto Rico (My Page) on Mon, Aug 23, 10 at 8:31
I can't remember the name...I will find out. But I don't think it is edible (no one ever mentioned you can eat it to me). |
- Posted by mango_kush 10b Hollywood, FL (My Page) on Mon, Aug 23, 10 at 9:08
my bet is an inedible Garcinia |
Is that a pic of two different fruit or are they the same fruit at different stages? Jay, |
I believe this is the seed and pod of Clusia rosea or the Autograph Tree. It's not edible which would explain the taste. |
LOL!! 6 against 1 Sheehan buddy!!!!! Your taste is no longer trusted! Let's check with Harry. The only thing "refined" is all the sugar you need to put on those fruit you like! I believe that is the "key" to this whole thing........ I'm on a roll. Here all week! |

Trini got it! Here is from Bryan's site: http://www.montosogardens.com/clusia_rosea.htm |
Don't eat that thing!!! Clusia rosea is a tree found in the Caribbean, including the Bahamas, Hispaniola (such as in Los Haitises National Park), Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Florida. The tree produces a fleshy, light green but poisonous fruit; once the fruit has split, the seeds are favored by birds and other wildlife. This plant is cultivated as an ornamental plant, for its flowers, foliage, and fruit. It is planted in gardens as a fruiting and ornamental tree in sub-tropical climates, and used as a houseplant in many climates. Local PR Spanish name is Cupey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clusia_major |

By: Joseph Lynch, KOB Eyewitness News 4
A longtime furniture maker and wood restorer in Santa Fe is sifting through the ashes and debris that used to be his furniture factory.
An overnight fire destroyed the place and the antique furniture inside. The fire had neighbors on edge all through the night and into the morning.
The fire ignited at the Hands of America furniture maker on Rodeo Drive just before 10 Thursday night. It had flames shooting as high as 30 to 40 feet, according to neighbor Mike Boule. There were some really tense moments for anyone close to the huge fire, according to Boule.
"You could see the explosion; the pinon trees have a lot of sap. And when the sap catches it looked like little explosions," Boule said.
Boule says those explosions went on for hours. Firefighters and neighbors were extremely grateful the fire didn't happen Wednesday night when the area was seeing wind gusts around 60 miles per hour.
"I think that helped the firefighters keep the fire located in a smaller area. We were grateful for that because the embers could have easily caught the grass on fire that's behind my property," Boule said.
Firefighters say the 4,000 square foot warehouse in the back of the property was especially hard to get to. Piles of debris and pinon trees made it almost impossible for the nearly 30 firefighters to get to the fire to get water on the flames. So it made for a very long night and morning for Boule.
"Once we finally got calmed down and realized it was under control we finally went to sleep. It was an exciting evening to say the least," Boule said.
Santa Fe firefighters were out on the scene for 15 hours putting out the flames and mopping up. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Learn About Uganda
Uganda is located in Eastern Africa and borders Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. Though landlocked, Uganda is in the heart of the Great Lakes region, and is surrounded by Lake Edward, Lake Albert and Lake Victoria. The country is mostly plateau with a rim of mountains and has a tropical climate. The capital city is Kampala.
Uganda achieved independence from the United Kingdom in 1962. Unfortunately, political instability has been a regular part of the Ugandan landscape since shortly after their independence. In 1971, Idi Amin led a coup when then President Milton Obote was out of the country. For the last twenty years, Joseph Kony (leader of the Lord's Resistance Army) and his soldiers waged a brutal civil war. Even today, 30,000 people remain displaced. A UN secretary for humanitarian affairs has called the war in Northern Uganda the "largest neglected humanitarian emergency in the world."
The population of Uganda is 35.8 million, with almost 50% under the age of 14 years. It also has the 2nd highest birth rate in the world. Although English is the official language of Uganda, Luganda is the most commonly spoken of the 40 tribal languages that exist. Ugandans largely practice Christianity, although 12% of the population is Muslim. Children typically attend school until the age of 11 years. As a result, 66% of the population is literate.
The average life expectancy of a Ugandan is 53.45 years. Family size is typically 6-8 members with the infant mortality rate ranking 27th in the world. Although prevention education has reduced the spread of HIV, Uganda still ranks 8th in the world for individuals living with HIV/AIDS. 25 million people live with HIV in Africa and half of these people also have TB. Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, accounting for 25 to 40 percent of outpatient visits to health facilities, 15 to 20 percent of all hospital admissions and 9 to 14 percent of all hospital deaths. Nearly half of inpatient deaths among children under the age of five are attributed to malaria.
Living in Uganda
Half of the 1.4 billion people living in extreme poverty throughout the world live in Africa. In Uganda, over 80% of the population survives on less than a dollar a day. Only 13% of the country lives in modernized conditions with access to clean water, electricity and healthcare. There are three forms of transportation in Kampala: boda-boda (motorcycle), mutate (bus) and private hire. Traveling throughout Uganda is time consuming as roads outside of Kampala are often not paved. Uganda's currency is the Shilling and it is generally a cash-based country.
Both the Head of State and the Head of Government in Uganda is President Yoweri Museveni who was elected by a popular vote in 2011 to a five-year term. As leader of Uganda, Museveni is also head of the armed forces. The cabinet is appointed by the president from among the elected legislators. The Prime Minister, currently Apolo Nsibambi, assists the president in the supervision of the cabinet. The system is based on a democratic parliamentary system, and all citizens over 18 years of age have the right to vote.
Uganda has significant natural resources, including fertile land and mineral deposits, and typically receives ample rainfall. Chronic political instability and erratic economic management produced a record of persistent economic decline that has left Uganda among the world's poorest and least-developed countries. "It is thought that Uganda could feed all of Africa if it was commercially farmed." Exports of apparel, hides, skins, vanilla, vegetables, fruits, cut flowers, and fish are growing, and cotton, tea, and tobacco continue to be mainstays for the country. The industrial sector is being rehabilitated to resume production of building and construction materials, such as cement, reinforcing rods, corrugated roofing sheets and paint. It is Africa's leading producer of coffee.

Your opinion.
Oregon is one of the most entertaining teams to watch that has come along in a long time. Their high-speed offense is a marvel, and I for one (besides being a suffering Cal Bear fan) would really like to watch that game.
DirecTV must really not like doing business in Oregon.. this weekend both of its schools are not going to be on and the ongoing non-carriage feud with CSN NW.
An Oregon or Cal fan will watch this game. Nationally, this is a terrible game.

- Trehalose Complex
Product Description
Trehalose Complex
The body's cells are tiny factories, and as such, they function under many of the same dynamic considerations: Materials and byproducts accumulate and must be removed.
These byproducts are usually some sort of misshapen protein that folded in some manner incomprehensible to the cell and hence not usable. Much like having a rock in your shoe, misfolded proteins in the cell factory trigger a cell-wide stress reaction to these weird proteins and the cell often goes to great lengths to either correct the problem or eliminate the problem protein. When this process is compromised, the cell can go through a stress response that accelerates its aging process.
Always at the frontier of new nutrition science, Dr. D'Adamo has discovered that this process is greatly assisted by a unique molecule known as trehalose, a natural disaccharide sugar. Trehalose is found in many organisms, including bacteria, yeast, fungi, insects, invertebrates, and plants. However, humans make very little trehalose. It functions to protect the integrity of the cell against various environmental stresses like heat, cold, desiccation, dehydration, and oxidation.
Trehalose has been accepted as a novel food ingredient in the EU and under the GRAS system in the U.S. and now from D'Adamo Personalized Nutrition, it is available in dietary supplement form.
Trehalose Complex acts on multiple levels and may protect nerves from the destructive forces of aging and environmental toxicity, support optimal nerve function as well as activity of the brain and nervous system.
Directions: Stir Trehalose powder into water with a squeeze of lemon or mix Trehalose with a beneficial juice. Mixing in a spoonful of ARA 6 - Pure Larch Powder will increase its effectiveness. Dr. D'Adamo recommends taking Trehalose an hour away from green tea, coffee, curcumin or quercetin.
